EE, I said the same thing to the Turkey Hunter when he was asking about the best call. Funny.

I always just breast the bird and take the two nice pieces of meat home. I also take the beard and the fan.

Picking shot????

You shoot them in the head, you should have no shot in the breast.

We make is all kinds of ways:

1. Set-it-and-forget-it<br><br>
2. Smoke it in the Little Chief<br><br>
3. cut it into strips and make Turkey tenders<br><br>
4. Marninate and grill<br><br>
5. chunk it and make stir fry<br><br>
6. etc...<br><br>

Go to the website for tast of home cookbooks - it is www.tasteofhome.com. At their home page they have a key word search - search for "roast wild turkey". The recipe calls for stuffing the turkey with sliced apples, making a sauce which you pour over the turkey, dump a couple of pounds of potatoes and carrots around the bird, and cook in the oven covered for about 3 and 1/2 hours. Since we discovered this recipe about 5 years ago, I make all my turkeys with this recipe. Have given this recipe to a number of friends who also really liked it. Stuffing with apples makes the bird very moist and the potatoes and carrots pick up the taste of the sauce. No kidding - best turkey recipe I have ever had. Even quit deep frying after trying this.
